Best credit card to use at Scholastic.
Scholastic is a major publisher and distributor of children's books and educational materials, best known to generations of families for its in-school Scholastic Book Fairs and Book Clubs, and as the longtime US publisher of the Harry Potter series and Clifford the Big Red Dog. It also produces classroom magazines, curriculum resources, and media for schools and libraries. There's no Scholastic co-brand credit card, so book and classroom supply purchases through its website are best charged to a general online shopping rewards card, or a flat-rate cashback card if no bonus category applies.
